Our jetboat packages offer so much more than just a spin in a fast boat. This is no ten-minute trip - most of our jetboating experiences are over an hour in length, take in magnificent scenery, all the while throwing an exciting thrill ride your way.

Our amazing two-and-a-half hour Thermal Safari tour allows you to experience the world's only riverjet tour that allows you to step off of your jetboat onto a fantastic geothermal wonderland. This adrenaline-pumping experience offers the thrill of blasting down the Waikato River at 90km/h to spending an hour exploring Taupo's hidden valley Orakei Korako.

Alternatively, if you're looking for the perfect experience with the thrills of a jetboat ride then The Squeeze tour is for you! Picture the serenity of New Zealand's untouched nature, the adventure of squeezing through tight rock passages and the refreshment from dipping in a mystical hot spring waterfall. See for yourself why native New Zealand Māori once fought over these spectacular lands!

If you're all about the jetboating, then our Scenic Blast tour is for you! Operating daily at 10am, the scenic blast offers you a 55 minute, 36 km return trip down the mighty Waikato River. This is the jetboat experience of your dreams at the best possible price!
